Since I went to the doctor today I thought I would post some Japanese words that are relatively new to me. Some I learned today and some I had learned before but they all relate to illness or infirmity. Forgive the somewhat advanced and somewhat gross nature of some of the words but I hope they could be useful to someone looking to go to the Japanese Doctor.
